Traducir means expressing written or spoken content in another language.
The idea
The present yo form is traduzco; use traducir al español to name Spanish as the target language.
Examples
- Traduzco el mensaje al español.I translate the message into Spanish.
- Ella traduce la carta al francés.She translates the letter into French.
- Traducimos las instrucciones al italiano.We translate the instructions into Italian.
- ¿Puedes traducir esta frase?Can you translate this sentence?
- El programa traduce palabras, pero no siempre entiende el contexto.The program translates words, but does not always understand the context.
- Necesito traducir el documento para mi compañera.I need to translate the document for my colleague.
Read-aloud uses a synthetic Spanish voice available on your device. Voice quality and availability vary; it does not assess your pronunciation.
No Spanish device voice is available. You can still read the text.
Watch out
Traducir converts meaning between languages; borrar means erasing text instead.
